ted great and universal interest at the

Another interesting local fact con-
nected with the brig Somers, is that
the vessel was named for a naval hero
of whom Park Commissioner Somers
is a lineal descendant. This hero was
the American officer who was COM
mander of a frigate which he blew up
in q naval engagement near Tripoli,
and sunk with all her crew an officers,

Better Stay at Home.

The Boston Record has been doing
its best to put to flight some fond
little Illusions which American girls of
small means indulge in in regard to
going abroad and supporting them
selves while they study music, or paint
ing, or language. Some OF these maid
ems imagine it the easiest thing possible
to obtain pupils in English and launch
themselves into II strange land with
out money to live upon, but with a
sublime confidence in their own powers,
which often brings them grief. For it
is true that Americans have not the
reputation among the careful foreign
matrons which will lead to their en-
ploynent when an Englishwoman can
be had. Nor is there the opportunity
to earn money by foreign correspond
ence that many believe exists. There
is SO little that is new which the tele-
graph leaves untold, and foreign modes
of living are 30 well understood now.

ed. Lord Berkeley even concealed his
marriage from his most intimate
friends. One o. these was the Prince
Regent afterwards George Wy who
frequently visited Berkeley Castle,
where Lord Berkeley allowed his wife
to hold a most invidious position for
many years. Four children had been
born OF the alliance when, at the sug-
gestion OF the Prince Regent, and after
having been assured by the best legal

would not invalidate the first, if the

Points for POkeritcs.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald
If you want to find out the true
character of man get him into a
game OF poker. He is bound to show
his true colors there. 1t dose not
make any difference whether he is a
winner or a loser, he will show HIM
self Just as he is before he gets through
1t takes cool head and lots OF nerve
TO keep quiet in a game of poker,
watch the players and never to be
moved by the Jokes, crowls and ieers
OF fellow players. There are some
players who never know when they
are being whipped around the bush.
These fellows are never satisfied with
the text of the game. II the ante is
25 cents they will invariably make it
75 cents when it comes their turn, so
as to make q big jackpot. But it is
seldom that they win one of these big
pots. Some quiet duck, who had no
hand in the Job, will open the pot
with two pair or better, and then one
OF the smart Alexis, with small pair
and an ace or a bob-tail flush, will
rnlse the pot and attempt to steal by
reckless bluff. But he always gets a
call, and in the end finds himself only
the deeper in the hole. And then he
swears; calls the fellow who beats him
a tlght-bellied player, and thinks he
Is playing in terrible hard luck. A
man who makes it a practice OF bluff
ing in small limit game, or who
invariably comes in on small pair
when jackpot is opened, is nothing
short OF a chump. Put that in your
pipe and smoke it, as it fits a good
many OF you. There are some players
You never can satisfy, no matter how
you play; SO the only way is to attend
toyour own business, keep your mouth
shut and your eyes open, play your
hand for all there is in it, see that the
cards are we'll shuified and cut, and
when you find a chronic growler or a
chronic buffer in the game, study his
weak points and make him your meat,

What Became of the Pear.
From the Boston Record.

From the Boston Record.
In one OF the suburban towns there
lives man who does business in Bos-
ton, and who has a great passion
for cultivating new and choice varie-
ties of fruit on his pretty place. He
too particular pains to get pear tree
OF rare sort OF golden russell variety,
and planted and nursed it with inf
mite solicitude. By and by it got
ready to bear. 1t blossomed last
spring with fair profusion, but it bore,
much to the disappointment OF it's
owner, but single pear. That one
pear however, grew to be splendid
specimen, and was priced in proper
tion to its rarity. The owner of the
tree was very anxious that it should
mature and ripen.
But he had small boy, Charley by
the boys father had observed, with
covetous eyes. So the father laid his
hand on the boys shoulder one day
and said:
"See here, Charley, don't you ever
pick that pear. If you do shall pun.
ish you most severely"
Charley promised faithfully that he
wouldn't, and the father waited a few
days longer for the pear to ripen. But
the very next day, when he came home,
the pear was gone.
He took his boy and led him to the
tree.
"Did you pick that pear, Chariey7"
"No, cir, truly didn't pick itP'
"You didn't? Then what do you
suppose became OF itW
"I-I-I-"
"You what?"
I-I Skinned up the tree and ate II,
papa, but l didn't pick it'
The father looked up into the tree
and saw that the stem of the pear
still hung to its branch. The boys
story was true. He had .cIimed tho
tree and lain on his back on q larpe
limb underneath the pear, and had
eaten y from thestem. But b hAdp,t
